  1. Future politicians?! When gold was found on Cherokee land, the State of Georgia wanted to evict the Indians. The Supreme Court ruled that Georgia had to obey the treaty that the federal government had with the Cherokees. President Andrew Jackson was reported to have said, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it." Regardless, of whether Jackson actually spoke those words, his actions certainly said it when he relocated the Cherokees by force. For this open defiance of the Court's decision, Jackson now graces our $20 bill.
  2. Watch from 3:50 to 4:22, he even calls out the audience for becoming nervous when he mentions due process.
  3. According to the news article: The Department of Commerce and the Health and Human Services Department released a proposed framework for executive agencies that gives guidelines to confiscate patents from pharmaceutical companies if those protected products’ prices are too high and received funding from the federal government, according to an announcement from the White House. When you take money with strings attached, don't complain that there are strings attached.
  4. You mean like, labeling it the Democratic People's Republic of Korea does not make it a democratic republic?
  5. Back in the 60s, I saw an overhead poster on a CTA bus that show one child holding a smoking gun and another child lying on the ground. The caption said something like "save lives register your guns." The sign was defaced with the words "how does registering save lives?" Lookup Haynes v United States.
  6. For its work in McDonald v. City of Chicago, the NRA got $663,294.10 from the Village of Oak Park and another $663,294.10 from the City of Chicago. Go to: http://michellawyers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/City-of-Chicago-check.pdf And check out that signature of Rahm Emanuel on that check made out to the NRA. City-of-Chicago-check.pdf
